This is nonsensical. Reducing the diameter of that vein will make no difference to cerebral blood flow. Veins do not act like vacuum cleaners! Did they measure cerebral blood flow before and after the operation? How much did they charge you for "vein diameter reduction?" At face value it looks like if this clinic can't find a vein blockage that needs "liberation" they can always find a vein that needs "diameter reduction". It would be a shame to let a paying customer, convinced that his/her MS is caused by a vein problem, leave the clinic without being surgically "cured" and charged for same.

Being smart or not is not the issue. The issue is scientific evidence or lack of it. Haacke presents zero scientific evidence for the significance of vein dilation. All he has to do is measure cerebral blood flow in people with and without vein dilation in a properly blinded fashion to prove his hypothesis. As it stands now it just an hypothesis with not even any a priori rationale and it certainly not a justification for a very invasive and risky "treatment".

I have read them. Exactly what in Ricci's history justifies vein diameter reduction? Exactly what is the scientific evidence for the efficacy and safety of vein diameter reduction of which I am I not aware?

Stay there by your right. I feel better already. Esspecially when I make an ice pack on the very place which reduces hematoma oppressing my vein. In about 30 days and hematoma will disappear. The vein was not even for a while opened. First the diameter was reduced an then the unneeded part was cut down.

Lyon, you're right. I should have only referred to his behavior, so how about:

"Ignore colros' mean-spirited behavior -- he acts like an ignoramus and troublemaker and displays anger control problems."

It's true that he's had disgusting posts deleted by the moderators, so I won't change that part of my post.

Btw, how's your MS doing, Lyon? I hope you're feeling okay these days. I know you were an early participant in the BNAC trial -- did you ever get the CD of your imaging? If yes, you should post some of your images.

I am still very interested to hear from you if they only fixed the vein in your neck or if the also worked on your vein further down inside the cavaty of your chest ?

Hi Bas
It was need of reducing the jougularis vein diameter and that was done according the plan and there were no complications. The neck was opened and jougularis vein diameter was reduces without opening it - than the rest of the vein was cut down.
